Age of miracles is still with us. Our own recovery proves that!

Age of miracles in the ten stages is still with us. Our own recovery proves that!

The capacity to give our attention to a sufferer is a very rare and difficult thing

The capacity to give our attention to a sufferer is a very rare and
difficult thing; it is almost a miracle; it is a miracle.

However mean your life is, meet it and live it:

However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard
names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble your-
self much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not
change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. Child Within has seen
that you do want society.

We usually conclude the period of meditation with a short prayer

We usually conclude the period of meditation with a prayer that we be shown all through the day what our next step is to be, that we be given whatever we need to take care of such problems. We ask especially for freedom from self-will, and are careful to make no request for ourselves
only. 

We may ask for ourselves, however, if others will be helped. We are careful never to pray for our own selfish ends. Many of us have wasted a lot of time doing that and it doesn't work. You can easily see why.
